Ultra-local Model Predictive Current Control of a PM Synchronous Motor

https://doi.org/10.58571/CNCA.AMCA.2025.008

Resumen: This paper introduces an ultra-local model predictive current control (UMPCC) for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The main objective of the ultra-local model approach is to improve the robustness of the current control of the PMSM. Previous works on ultra-local model techniques for the current control of a PMSM are designed based on deadbeat control, which leads to a high current ripple due to the fast response of the controller. This paper introduces a continuous UMPCC (C-UMPCC) to minimize the current ripple. In the proposed approach, a continuous vector control is designed using the solution of an optimal control tracking problem. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the proposed controller.
